News Title: Format for 2009 Tournament announced


Organizers for 2009 19th Annual Deep South Classic have determined the format for the 2009 Tournament. The tournament will be held Dec 28, 29 & 30, 2009 at Brookwood High School in Snellville, GA. The tournament will be a three day, 16 team tournament-- 8 boys’ teams and 8 girls’ teams. Due to sponsorship concerns the tournament will be limited to only Georgia High School teams.

“We regret that we no longer can host out-of- state teams but the state of the economy and our sponsorship no longer permits us to assist those teams at the same high level that we have done in the past,” stated Deep South Classic Tournament Director Les Witmer. “It’s a shame because we have developed a lot of nice contacts with out-of-state coaches, teams and their fans over the years.”

The 2008 Deep South Classic returned to its original format and hosted only Georgia teams last year.
